Determining the "loudest recorded sound" depends on how you define sound and on which measurements you choose to include.

A new acoustic levitation technique combines sound waves and electric charge to control multiple particles without physical ...

The key ingredients for a fire are heat, fuel and oxygen; take one of these away, and the flames are extinguished. Sound ...

Acoustic frequency filters, which convert electrical signals into miniaturized sound waves, separate the different frequency ...

In holographic direct sound printing, a transducer emits high-acoustic pressure sound waves, inducing a sonochemical reaction called cavitation that creates solid material inside the build chamber. A ...

For the first time, researchers were able to transmit, or "tunnel," sound waves across extremely small distances between two crystals in a vacuum. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Researchers have engineered a silk fabric that can suppress noise by either generating sound waves that interfere with the noise or by blocking vibrations that are key to the transmission of sound.

A team of scientists has succeeded in cooling traveling sound waves in wave-guides considerably further than has previously been possible using laser light. This achievement represents a significant ...

No rainstorm is needed for this rainbow — it’s made out of sound. Using an oddly shaped plastic device, scientists have created an acoustic rainbow, separating white noise according to its various ...

In the early 1980s, two Soviet-era missions, Venera 13 and 14, measured sound waves on Venus, producing a measurement of wind ...

Although few people ever get the chance to travel at the speed of sound, it is an alluring flight goal and an impressive technological feat. Though average people have flown at high speeds on ...

In a world buzzing with constant notifications, honking traffic, and daily stressors, the sound of waves offers a rare kind of sanctuary one that doesn’t just relax us, but actually resets the mind.
